ScamHunter:
Ijaw are not up to 10 million. Forget fake Nigerians censuses.

Igbos are 9th class citizens forget 7th class fake figures.

Localemperor:

ObiofAsaba1:
Ijaw population is about 10 million
While IGBO is about 30 million

Lie created by Igbos

DaveDGreat:
Chai! Ndigbo don suffer. Chineke Ndigbo Biko nu belie. What's all these insults Biko nu?

Ndigbo, let the sleeping giant arise.

Igbos are not larger than Ijaw God be my witness.

Oplomo:
Zik was president, national airport and university are named after him.


Ijaw will only drink ogogoro and sip crude-oil water. Lazy mugus

Zik was not President it was Tafawa Balewa.
Zik was given empty office.


Even Yakubu Gowon Vice Was Ijaw.
He helped Gowon destroy Igbo

Only Egbema Clan have over 350 villages and settlements under it and Ijaw have 86 Clans.
This picture is Amassoma just one town under Ogboin Clan and Ijaw have 86 Clans.

Legitportal:

Truth be told Igbos are not larger than Ijaw in population.

Ijaws are as large as Igbo in size.

These are few Ijaw celebrities.

OGB is Delta Ijaw.

Sam Dede is Rivers Ijaw.
Timaya is Bayelsa Ijaw
Gentle Jack is Rivers Ijaw
Daniel Lyod is Bayelsa Ijaw
Sowore is Ondo Ijaw
Nengi is Bayelsa Ijaw
Harrysong is Delta Ijaw
Ben Bruce Owner of Sylverbird TV is Bayelsa Ijaw.
Burna Boy is Rivers Ijaw among hundreds of thousands of other Nigerian Celebrities that are Ijaws but many dont know.

Where Ijaw occupy in Niger Delta is as big as Igbo land.
They don't cross creeks to count Ijaw they only count Ijaw by proxy.
They are afraid to cross creeks to know us more.

Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States when all Ijaw areas are not even scattered by God.

Igbos are not larger than Ijaw in population truth be told.

You see Ijaws everyday but they don't carry it on their head.
Many people that you think are Igbos are actually Ijaws.

True.

Igbos are not larger than Ijaw in population truth be told.

Wikipedia

Igbo's are not larger than Ijaw in population

7th class citizens that can never rule Nigeria.

Cubalabloo:
My soul grief for them. May they find enternal rest with Christ.

Very bad thing.

Very sad.

For those ones doing the Jesus challenge don't forget that the ones killed were probably shouting Jesus too.

I just searched this on the Internet and this was exactly how it is in all sites.


Nigeria has been referred to as "The Giant of Africa," due to the large population and distinct economic achievements in comparison to countries that surround this land. Nigeria is found in West Africa and borders Benin, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger. Nigeria is a fascinating country; in the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, there are over 500 ethnic groups and over 500 languages spoken! Explore the eight largest ethnic groups in Nigeria below:

Hausa

The Hausa are the biggest ethnic group in Nigeria. With estimates of their population reaching 67 million, Hausa make up approximately 24% of the Nigerian population. The Hausa culture is homogenized, meaning, throughout Nigeria, the Hausa culture is extremely similar. Hausa are known for raising cattle and other stock, growing crops and trading. Hausa are also recognized for practicing Islam as their main religion. Being the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, Hausa have always been some of the main players in Nigerian politics since Nigeria was granted independence from Britain in 1960.


Yoruba

Individuals who designate themselves as Yoruba make up approximately 19% of the population of Nigeria, making them the second biggest ethnic group in the country. Yoruba are usually identified as Christian or Muslim, although a lot of Yoruba still uphold traditional aspects of their ancestors' religious practices and beliefs. This ethnic group upholds many cultural traditions, including music and culture festivals, traditional Yoruba art, and conventional architecture. The Yoruba culture has historically relied on large populations in a centralized location and an Oba (King).

Igbo

The Igbo people of Nigeria make up approximately 17% of the population. They have long been opposed to Sharia law in Nigeria, with most Igbo identifying as Christian. Igbo society, unlike the Hausa and Yoruba, is non-hierarchical and not reliant on a centralized society. The Igbo are an essential part of the oil trade in Nigeria's southeastern region. In 1967, Igbo fought with the Nigerian government to achieve independence. This was a two and a half year battle in which Igbo people were subjected to brutal conditions, many starving to death during this time. Since this war, Igbo have been reintegrated into Nigerian society; a lot Igbo still feel marginalized by the status quo in Nigeria.


Ijaw

The Ijaw live in the Niger River Delta area of Nigeria and constitute around 14% of the population of the country. The Ijaw have historically had tensions with the rest of the Nigerian population. The lands in which the Ijaw inhabit are extremely oil-rich. This is bittersweet for the Ijaw people, as oil exploration has subjected their land to ecological vulnerability. Mismanagement of these oil revenues has kept a substantial amount of the wealth from returning to the Ijaw community. Goodluck Jonathon, the Prime Minister of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015 identifies as an Ijaw, and his election to the highest office in Nigeria was a proud moment for Ijaw people.

Kanuri

The Kanuri people are found in northeastern Nigeria. Their population is believed to be around 4% of Nigeria (approximately 4,000,000). The regions in which Kanuri live are largely impractical for outsiders to reach. Kanuri people are predominately Sunni Muslims. Boko Haram, an Islamist insurgent group in the North of Nigeria, are mostly of Kanuri descent. This group seeks to express many of the Kanuri grievances towards the Nigerian government. Although the Kanuri culture is rich with tradition, Boko Haram are using their lands as a base for operations, and innocent Kanuri people have been subjected to violence and Sharia law.


Fulani

Since the Fulani War (1804-1808), the Fulani people have been intertwined with the Hausa of Nigeria. This is largely due to intermarriage and Fulani living among the Hausa population. Fulani and Hausa together make up approximately 29% of the population of Nigeria. Fulani adopted Islam early, and a large section of the Fulani people are recognized as excellent Islamic clerics. Along with the Hausa, Fulani people have also been a dominant presence in the sphere of Nigerian politics since independence in 1960.

Ibibio

The Ibibio, mostly found in southeastern Nigeria, have a rich oral history passed down through generations. These people have lived in this part of Nigeria for several hundred years. This ethnic group numbers approximately 4.5 million which is equivalent to 3.5% of the population of Nigeria. Ibibio people in the region also inquired (with the British Crown) to become their own sovereign nation within Nigeria (pre-independence). Today, Ibibio predominantly identify themselves as Christian. Ibibio has an amazing artistic culture, most known for creating intricate wooden masks and carvings.


Tiv

The ethnic group known as Tiv are well known for their agricultural produce and the trading of this produce. This is one of the only sources of income for the group. The Tiv people all trace their ancestry back to an ancient individual also named Tiv, who had two sons. Some Tiv people identify as Christians, even less as Muslim. The traditional religion of Tiv, based on manipulations of forces by humans who have been entrusted by a creator God, remains strong within the Tiv populace. Tiv only make up 3.5% of the Nigerian population, making them one of the smaller ethnic groups within the country.

Other Ethnic Groups In Nigeria

The remaining ethnic groups in Nigeria make up 12% of the Nigerian population. These groups include Ebira, Edo, Gwari, Jukun, and Igala, to name a few. The middle belt of Nigeria is well known for its diversity, with many of these remaining groups living in this part of the country. Although Nigeria is rich in her diverse ethnicity, many of these groups mentioned above live segregated from others. Most ethnic groups in Nigeria have formed illegal vigilante or militia groups, protecting their interests from other groups within the country.

Please kindly exercise patience when you hit the roads… try and remain on your lane. As you only block off incoming traffic when you drive on the other lane.…

ThinkSmarter:
These guys are beasts.
Savages with no conscience.
They can't do it in SS/SE
Cuz Bini, Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Efik, Kalabari, etc na crazy tribes
They can only attack small village at our Borders with Benue.
But Not in the hinterland.

Kalabari is Ijaw

Kalabari is an Ijaw Clan just like Ijebu is a Yoruba Clan.

True

Ago Fayose that couldn't get even 1 vote out of the 774 PDP Presidential Primaries Delegate votes.

They don't care for the masses their children are overseas.

All Tinubu know how to do is donate to disaster areas.
All he pray for is bad news to happen so he can show where he is good at.

If fire burn for Sokoto in don reach there if Bandits massacre for Kaduna in don reach there.
He will never do the charity in Igbo land and he will not condemn the bandits.

Severe Pain to his haters as its not him.

GEJ the consensus that only Tinubu refused to accept when Buhari picked him.

Ok

His haters have failed with their plans.

Tingotoe:
I don't get my news from blogs because I'm not ignorant like you. Anyone can open a blog and upload anything he feels like. Show us a credible news outlet that carried the story or get the hell out. You ain't talking to 5 year olds

May Fulani massacre your family members.

Misterone:
the second pics with Him saying Nigeria will be divided is most likely false. This is because the picture must be date related for it to be valid. If this statement was made in 2014, then it is valid. But if it is made now, then it is wrong. It is the turn of the South to produce the president of Nigeria.

By 2014 no sheik gumi

Is it not Peter Obi again?
Or according to Reno Omokri may Peter Obi's labour not be in vain.
